Chaldean Oracles 22:
Thus, in the Oracles as well, the actions of the gods and of the Father himself are revealed by them through speech, as when it says: “For the Intellect of the Father said for all things to separate into three, governing all things by the Intellect [of the very first] eternal [Father]. He nodded his assent to this and immediately all things were separated.”
